Frank and Max having fun as ninja turtles! Nice homemade masks Frank. Max really wants Santa to bring him a Leonardo costume! Frank and I at his Senior Football Banquet last Saturday 12/8/07. He really felt honored to receive the Defensive MVP award! It was a nice night, and it was great to have both of our parents there to support us! This was our family picture for our Christmas card! I have to thank my friend Cordie again for taking the time to take it for us! Thanks again! Maybe Cecilia will smile next year...little stinker!

1- At a time in my life I was very into gymnastics and then after that I got into soccer. I was passionate about both! Now whenever I see something really neat at sporting events like when a record is broken or someone wins in double overtime I always get overwhelming emotions. I can’t control it…I start crying like a little kid. Frank kinda teases me because when he is sitting by me and I start crying he feels like people around us think we are fighting or something. Anyway…I can’t control it!

2- I am a total summer girl! I love Logan, but if I could choose I would live by the beach and have it be summer all year long! I would just come back to visit the winter for a vacation. When I get really cold I feel like it takes me 2 days to unthaw. FLORIDA here we come!

3- I LOVE eating dinner food in the morning and I really don’t like breakfast food for dinner. Seriously I would rather eat a bowl of pasta or soup at 7 in the morning than a bowl of cereal. I am definitely my mom’s girl! Also…my two favorite treats are black licorice toffee and a Dr Pepper (weird combo I know)!

4- I am kind of known as the “ICE BREAKER.” The reason for this title is kind of embarrassing…I am usually the first one to let a little toot out when we are with friends playing games. In other words making everyone else feel more comfortable to go ahead and do the same. It brings friendships to a whole different level!

5- Some things I like to do are: make cards, play games, read blogs, play with my kids, play soccer, talk with good friends and of course spend time with my wonderful husband! I also LOVE wrapping presents! I even dream about it. I know I know I’m a little nutty, but I really do love it, so if anyone needs a little help this Christmas give me a call I’d be happy to help!

6- I would love to go on a dream vacation to Tahiti some day! Hang out on the beach and watch the sunset…BEAUTIFUL! (someday)

That’s it for me, so here is a list of the people I am tagging: Mary Scoresby, Brit Bethers, Aleese Stewart, Crystal Hancey, Cami Groethe, and Ashlee Corrigan. YOU’RE IT!

p.s. Cici took her first 3 steps tonight walking from Frank to me! She’s such a cutie!

YEA...The Aggies finally pulled off a win! It seemed like an awesome game, too bad I wasn't there to witness it. Max and I celebrated at home with cheers and high 5's as they beat New Mexico St 35-17. One more game to go and Frank is DONE! That is crazy to me, that's all we've known since we've been married. I have to say it will be nice to have more of a regular schedule though! GO AGGIES!

Okay so I was getting the kids ready for bed tonight, and after I changed Cici's damp diaper I put it on her head and let it fall off...she started busting up laughing. I wish I had the camera rolling because it went on for about 10 minutes with her and Max putting the diaper up and watching it fall off. They were both cracking up! So much for toys this Christmas...how about some used diapers? :)

I still can't believe that the weather is still nice enough in Logan that we can play outside! We've been taking advantage of it. We go out EVERYDAY! Max on his scooter and Cici in the stroller. Lately we've been going to this church parking lot so that Max can cruise around without any worries. He's hilarious...he always get's going really fast and says "Yeah Baby!...Go Baby!" Funny Boy!

Frank's Jams

funny things my kids say and do

4/15/10: Max- Sis you don't know what you're talking about, I am the boss of my Star Wars game!Cici- Oh yeah...I am the boss of my carrots!1/11/10: Tonight while we were eating dinner Cici was taking all of her pepperoni off her pizza and putting it one my plate, then came the cheese, so I went ahead and wiped the sauce off with a napkin so it didn't make a big mess. She gave me this grossed out face and said,"Now my pizza is naked mom!" Max and I got a good laugh!11/28/09: I was asking Cici who was excited for Christmas as we were setting up the tree and she said,"I am, and Max is, and Samson is, and my big HUMONGOUS Daddy is!"11/18/09: Cici comes to me with the bottle of hand sanitizer, "Mom I need some hanitizer."10/30/09: Cici said the other day in the car,"Mom, Grandma Brynne drives so so so so so so SSSooooooo FAST!" I loved the picture in my head of Cici feeling like she's in a little rocket ship or something.9-24-09: Max-"Oh Darnksters" for Oh Darn. Love it!1-21-09: Frank and Max have decided that when they wrestle, it's "the king and the fat boy" vs. "the boy and the feather" I always crack up from the other room when I hear Max saying to Cici..."Come on Feather let's get the king!"1-3-09: Max said during his prayer..."please bless those people that don't have a house, or chicken to eat."12-12-08: I gave Max some cereal in one of our glass bowls instead of his plastic ones because they were all dirty and Max said, "Yipee, I get a human bowl."11-17-08: Cici is starting to say her own prayers. My all time favorite is the way she says Heavenly Father it sounds like: "Heavetebede Fada" SSOOOOO cute!7-23-08: This morning I was getting ready for my doctor's appt. and Max asked me when this baby is going to come out of my tummy. I told him probably in a few weeks and he said..."Oh I know, why don't you count to 5 and then he can come out!" If only child birth were really that easy!7-13-08: Up to this point Max has been wearing "tightie whities," but he just graduated to big boy boxer brief underwear. He wasn't so sure of them at first because he said they were shorts not underwear, but then he realized they were way cool when he said, "Hey me and Daddy have the same underwear!" Close but not quite! :)6-13-08: I love Cici's sweet voice saying "pease" and "tank oo." She is a very polite little lady most of the time!5-26-08: Lately Max has been saying as he points to each part..."Eyes, ears, mouth, Tongan nose, UNIBROW!" Then he cracks up laughing. It's hilarious and so true...he's definitely got quite the unibrow to show off!4-15-08: Cici absolutely loves to blow bubbles while in the bathtub, "bubble" is actually one of the few words she says! She also loves to click her tongue all day long.4-8-08: Max randomly asked me about John the Baptist after talking about Jesus' baptism he said oh was he nice? I said Yeah he was a very nice MAN. He said "oh I know what starts with man...MANNERS" it was so random and funny! I'm happy to see him catching on to some of the things I've been trying to teach him.3-29-08: Max came and laid flat on top of me on the couch and I said...Max be careful you're going to smash the baby in my tummy, he promptly said, "I'm not smashing it, I'm keeping it warm!" What a nice brother. :)3-4-08: This morning I had to go up to campus with my two kids to turn in a group project report. Anyway, when we got in the building I said Max let me show you where the elevator is so that you can push the button. He said, "Mom the alligator is far away...I love to go up, up, up on the alligator!" Funny boy! He knows what an alligator is so maybe he thinks that word has two meanings. who knows?2-25-08: my two favorite things Max has been saying lately are...instead of forget he'll say "mom don't getfor me!" and also he says out of the blue "I love you too momma!" even if I haven't said I love you...I love it!2-13-08: The other day Max came up to me out of the blue and said, "Mom, I need some LOVES!" It made my day because he is not a snuggler.2-13-08: Cici loves dancing to any music! It is so cute to watch her in the shopping cart at the store dancing to the background music.
